The tyranny of the minority, which you don't seem to think is a tyranny, despite Trump being in power because of it. You don't address how in practice the Electoral College has worked out. And you're talking the wrong states here, no small Rhode Island isn't a problem, it doesn't have more power than California. It's collectively that rural voters among numerous states have more power than urban ones. Thus the tyranny of the minority. You keep not addressing how because the Electoral College we got Bush and then trump inflicted on us. Maybe you think that having Bush and Trump become presidents is justified because the Electoral College must be kept sacrosanct. The Founders will must prevail--Geez give me break. Now with Trump as president we are living under the will of a tyrant--brought to us by the Electoral College, by the tyranny of the minority.

what about the over 2 million people who voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump, don't their voices matter? You're saying to them, sorry rural voters vote matters more than yours, their voices matter more. Which is basically unfair. What would you say to the 2 million plus more people who voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump, some of them who had to wait in long lines in urban areas, as opposed to rural voters whose polling places were much less crowded, "sorry you weren't a rural voter because I think rural voters votes should count more than urban ones"?

It's not as if people in rural areas don't have any power--hell Wyoming has 2 senators for a population of about 600,000 when LA County by itself has much more people. The Senate itself, as it is constituted, gives them some degree of power. Washington DC, an urban area, with about the same population, has no senators. Hell, if the US Senate was based on population, California would get a lot more than 2 senators. But you already know that--it just apparently didn't matter to you
